Etiology
► Genetic
► Defective
immune regulation
► Exogenous factors
Etiology & Pathogenesis
The aetiology of IBD disease is unknown. There are many proposed
pathogenic mechanisms, some of which are represented in this diagram.
Genetic
susceptibility
Environmental
factors
Host
Immune
Response
IBD
As there is no one cause, it is likely that IBD disease is an outcome of
interactions between genetic predisposition, environmental factors and the
subsequent reaction of the host immune system.
Genetic:
► IBD
patients have disease-associated foci on
chromosome 16, 12,7,5,3,1 (gene NOD-2)
► Ulcerative colitis express HLA DR2 and CD
express DR5 DQ1, DRB0301.
► IBD patients with HLA DRB10130, have
extensive disease and extraintestinal
manifestation such as : mouth
ulcers,arthritis,uveitis

Crohn,s colitis
Ulcerative colitis
Pathology
Ulcerative colitis :
(1)Is a mucosal disease of colon
(2) 40-50% involve rectum ,30-40%
rectosigmoid ,20% pancolitis
(3) Backwash ileitis :10-2%%
(4) Mucosa is erythematous , hemorrhage
,ulcerations , pseudopolyps
Pathology( crohn,s):
► Affect
any part of GI from mouth to anus
► 30-40% small bowel
► 40-55% small and large bowel
► 15-25% alone colitis,” cobblestone”
► 90% terminal ileum is involved
► is a transmural disease with skip area , rectum is
spared ,preanal lesion like fistula ,fissures ,
abcesses,anal stenosis in see in 30%.
Normal colon
ULCERATIVE COLITIS
CONTINUOUS INVOLVEMENT
CROHNS vs PM COLITIS
Clinical:
► Intestinal
► Extraintestinal
Ulcerative colitis
Disease distribution
Ulcerative Colitis
Left sided
cloitis
Proctitis
Proctosigmoiditis
Disease distribution
► The
disease typically is most severe distally
and progressively less severe more
proximally.
►
In contrast to Crohn's disease, continuous
and symmetrical involvement is the hallmark
of UC, with sharp transition between
diseased and uninvolved segments of bowel
Clinical Features
diarrhea
tenesmus
rectal
bleeding
passage
of mucus
urgency
abdominal
pain
Clinical Features
The onset of UC typically is slow and insidious.
Symptoms have usually been present for weeks or months by the time the
patient seeks medical attention.
The median interval between the onset of symptoms and diagnosis of UC
is approximately 9 months.
Some patients with UC may present much more acutely, with symptoms
mimicking infectious colitis.
Intestinal symptoms of UC
► Diarrhea,
rectal bleeding ,tenesmus,
passage of mucus crampy pain, incomplete
evacuation.
► Intestinal complications : bleeding, toxic
colon, perforations , obstructions
Intestinal symptoms of CD :
► Ileocolitis
: diarrhea and chronic RLQ pain
► Jejunoileitis :malabsorption
► Colitis :diarrhea, low grade fever,pain, some
times hematochezia
► Gastroduodenal : G.O.O
► Intestinal complications :fistula, perforation,
intestinal obstruction, hemorrhage, preanal
diseases.
Extraintestinal
Manifestations of IBD
Skin
Erythema nodosum
Pyoderma gangrenosum
Joints
Peripheral arthritis
Sacroileitis
Ankylosing spondylitis
Eye
Uveitis
Episcleritis
Iritis
Hepatobiliary complications
Gallstones
PSC
Renal complications
Nephrolithiasis
Recurrent UTIs
Extraintestinal complications of I.B.D
Oral :
Dermatologic :
(1)Erythema nodosum, CD, 15%
(2)Pyoderma gangrenosum , UC ,1-12%
Extraintestinal complications of I.B.D
Rheumatologic :
(1)Peripheral arthritis, CD,15-20%
(2)Ankylosing spondylitis : CD, 10%, and 2/3 have
positive test fir HLA-B27,no relation to activity
(3)Sacroiliitis :CD=UC, No relation to activity
Extraintestinal complications of I.B.D
Ocular :1-10%
(1)Conjuntivitis
(2)Anterior uveitis/iritis
(3)Episcleritis
Extraintestinal complications of I.B.D
Hepatobiliary:
(1)Hepatic steatosis :50%
(2)Cholelithiasis : CD>UC is seen in 10-35%
patients with ileitis
(3) Primary sclerosing cholangitis :1-5%of
I.B.D patients have PSC
50%-75 of patients with PSC have I.B.D
(4)Peicholangitis :
Extraintestinal complications of I.B.D
Urologic :
(1)Calculi :CD, 10-20%
(2)Ureteral obstruction
(3)fistula
Lab in IBD
► In
ESR,CRP, Hb
► PANCA :Is positive in 5% population, 5-10%
in first degree relatives 5-10% in CD , 6070% in UC
► ASCA : 5% Population ,10-15% in UC, 6070% in CD
► ANCA positivity is more associated with
pancolitis, early surgery, pouchitis, PSC.
Medical treatment
(1)Sulfasalazine
Adverse Effects of Sulfasazine
Dose related
► nausea
► vomiting
► anorexia
► folate malab.
► Headache
► alopecia
Not dose related
► skin rash
► hemolytic anemia
► agrannulocytosis
► fibrosing alveolitis
► hepatitis
► male infertility
► colitis
Newer therapy:
(2) 5-ASA
a-azo-band : olsalazine
b-5-ASA dimer(resin) :delayed
release, pH dependent , Asacol
c: sustained released:
ethylcellulose microgranules ,
PENTASA
Treatment (continuous):
(3)Glucocorticoids :
a-oral
b-Iv
c-suppository and enema
(4) Antibiotics : metronidazole, ciprofloxacin.
fistula , preanal lesions
(5)Azthioprine,,methotrexate,cyclosporine(iv dose2-4mg/kg
82% effective in UC refractory to therapy )
6-MP
(6)Anti-TNF antibody (infliximab) : dose 5mg/kg ,65% of
refractory CD respond,repeat every 8 weeks.
Treatment protocol
is based in two factors:
► Colonic
► DAI

FACTORS MODIFYING RISK
Cancer risk in IBD:
OF COLITIS-ASSOCIATED
CANCER
Primary sclerosing
cholangitis
Family history of
colorectal cancer
pseudopolyp
Cancer in I.B.D
Sporadic colonic cancer (SCC) arise from adenomatous
polyp; colitis associated colonic cancer(CACs ) arise from
flat dysplasia or dysplasia-associated lesion or mass
(DALM)
► Multiple synchronous cancers occurs in3-5% SCC and in
12% CAC
► Mean age SCC is 60 and CAC 30 years
► SCC exhibits a left- sided predominance ,CAC distribute
uniformly
► Mucinous and anaplastic cancers are more common in CAC
than SCS
►
Inflammatory bowel diseases &
pregnancy
► Patients
with quiescent UC and CD have normal
fertility rates
► With increased activity patients have chance of
abortion , stillbirths and developmental defects,
but not due to medications
► Antibiotics like ampicillin,
cephalosporin,ormetronidazole for short
courses are safe
► Methotrexate and ciprofloxacin are contraindicated
► Sulfasalazine , 5-ASA and Glucocorticoids are safe
